Bursaspor defender Taiwo has stated that Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations is a ‘disaster’.

“It is a big disaster that the Super Eagles failed to make the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations,” Taiwo stated.

“After our performance at the World Cup, I had boasted to my African teammates that Nigeria would successfully defend the title but unfortunately, we missed out. It’s a big shame,” he concluded.

Taiwo has 53 international caps for the Super Eagles but has been left out of the team since Stephen Keshi took over as manager.

The 29-year-old defender has 53 caps for the Super Eagles but has not played under the current national team coach.

Taiwo joined Bursaspor on a free transfer from AC Milan last season.
